tachable springivagonseats used by placing them 'on the topsot' the side boards of the wagon-boxes, or on the cleats; or` ribs attached tothe sides.

The invention consists in an improved .constructiol'l tand arrangement of the springs. i

Swimilar letters` ofreference indicate corresponding *partsp f The `improvement in the springs consists in the production of wood sprngs,"nearly of theV form of el-4 "liptca-l springs, by means ot' two split or bifnrcaled .wood` springs, A`,placed with the butts ot the split ends` togetheiyas shown, between the plates B O, which are provided 'with thedonble in'elines, calculated 4tween them by the'bolts and nuts DEE, which alsov attach the said plates, respectively, to the boards F G, so that the said ends will bezseparated from each i n :incluse the same, reference .being had to the vacconr- Figure'l isa front' elevation, partly sectioned, of

" The Scllietul'e referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same other in the double `V-form shown, and prevented from closing down together.

These springs are attached to the lowerand upper boards, F G, of the spring, in the direction of their length, instead of erosswise, as heretofore,'and therefore `are not in the way as much as the others, es-

l pecially in getting in and out of ,the wagon. v `lliis inventionrelates to" improvements in the des K represents the adjustable cleats on the boa-rd F,

`for bearing against the sides of theboxes to hold theseat in place. They are made adjustable by passing the bolts L,

which/confine themfto the board F, through slots in the latter-,which admits of movingthe cleats when the nuts are loosened.

`Havingthus described lny invention,

I claim as new and desire to securefby Letters Patent-I 1. 'lheilnproved wagon or other springs, 'consisting of the parts A A, clamping plates-`B G, `clamping bolts', and the metal bands H, all combined andarranged substantially as speeilied.
